Summary of goals:

0:1 (71^st minute, Czechoslovakia): Antonin Puc received a pass from Sobotka (or Nejedly) on the left side and struck a shot to Combi’s right corner into the net.

1:1 (81^st minute, Italy): Orsi took a pass from Guaita (some sources say Ferrari), he feinted to shoot with left foot, instead shot with his right foot and the ball curled and dipped over Planicka.

The Czechs complained as there may have been a possible handball by Ferrari (or Guaita) in the action leading up to the goal.

Some other sources believe the Czechs complaint was about an earlier foul on Ladislav Ženišek by Meazza.

2:1 (95^th minute, Italy): Čtyřoký was unable to clear a ball, Meazza passed to Guaita, who passed to Angelo Schiavio.

Schiavio went past Čtyřoký and struck a shot that Planicka touched but could not stop it.
